It depends on what you want in a woman. Actually, girlfriends are only useful in "the other room".

I'm a young man in his early twenties. I've been going out with this particular girl for close to a year now.
I can tell that she loves me, and don't get me wrong I love her too, I mean she's very beautiful and well endowed in the right places, she's also a good cook and good in bed. But my worry is that she's too obtuse and uninteresting. Whenever we're having a conversation or discussion she doesn't make meaningful contributions to the topic, sometimes her contributions are not well thought out and when she says them it makes her sound dumb. My friends have even given her a nickname 'mumu'. Whenever they want to ask of her, they be like "Charlie® that your mumu girlfriend dey"?
I am kinda afraid to introduce her to my parents so she won't embarrass me. My parents are very particular about the kind of girl I bring home, and trust my dad he's going to bombard her with a barrage of questions. She's also not interested in global happenings around the world or within the country or even recent developments. What really sparked my ire was the just concluded USA elections. I remember calling her and teasing her as to who will win the elections, trump/Clinton, but I was dismayed by her response " who is trump?" I was totally dumbfounded, how can someone who isn't an illiterate not have an inkling about 'trump'. I'm not saying i know all about the elections, I wasn't even interested in the USA elections because I already knew it was all mere propaganda, but nevertheless I kept up to speed.
Her further response killed my vibe "what concern me with trump? Is he going to give me a role as a telemundo actress?"(she's obsessed with telemundo btw,which brings me to my next point)
She so much loves telemundo and zee world, the only concise narration she can give is the breakdown of an episode of zee world. It's breaks my heart because I love her and want to marry her in the nearest future, and I don't want our kids to turn out to be morons.
Conversations with her are so boring, she basically adds nothing to the topic of discussion. Our time together is mostly spent on long silences

I need only positive responses please...

I think the ball is now in your court, to transform her into someone you'd like her to be.

Get her books as gifts, coerce her into channelling those time spent watching telemundo and zee world to some other educative channel, engage her in intellectual discussion. Do not give up even if her replies ain't encouraging. Let her know why you're doing such and also how you expect her to flow along.
Do all these in love and don't go about insulting her cos that will make her detest you. Those your so called friends should be mindful if what they say too.

Whichever way, it's a gradual process and if she actually loves you the way you claim, she'll make an attempt to step up her games.

[b] Trust me,you aren't alone in your struggle.
Air-headedness & docility is the norm when it comes to naija babes,anything else is the exception to the rule.
I gotta admit,I really envy your tenacity & willpower. if I dated a girl like yours,I would have shot my myself (twice,preferably) in the head a long time ago.

I obtained some random girl's number a while ago and we got to talking. I absentmindedly asked her opinion on the Arab spring and she kept saying 'Eh?',pretending not to have heard what I said.......I decided to spell it out for her in plain terms and the best reply she could muster was 'They should just negotiate with the terrorists na'.

I nearly screamed into the phone but ultimately kept my cool. I told that ìdiot to lose my number,PRONTO.
A brother needs a girl who can have blood flowing in the two most important directions- Towards his brain & towards His dìck.

Unto you I say,brotherly: dump this intellectual liability and find yourself someone who can stimulate you sexüally and intellectually. [/b]

According to study kids inherit intelligence from the mum not the dad so your guess is a good as mine cus you may end up with dumb kids

Raine80:

That's cold

Ucheosefoh:
I say the truth the way it is, such girls hardly improve because they see no reason for improvement while being comfortable living with ignorance and as much as their boyfriend try to change them, they may hate him and will always end up with if you don't love me the way I am leave me that way and find another person I will find somebody who love me for who I am. I am talking from experience, I have stop trying to help what I do is to keep them as sex mates cus majority of them the only thing they are good at, is sex.

Raine80:

I know what you meant , it's my skewed humour. Why interact with women you look down upon intellectually in the first place I do not understand the double standards exercised here? Please and I am not on the attack here broaden my horizon.

DarkRebel101:
She doesn't have to know about Trump; there are many intelligent people that are disinclined toward politics. Her rejoinder does indeed strike a chord; really, of what use is Donald Trump to her?
...

I don't think she's uninteresting and dull, I think it's because you two hardly have any overlapping interests that could generate lots of talking points in your conversations. You should have factored intellectual compatibility before asking her to be your girlfriend.
...

You could, with tenderness and love, ask her to begin take interest in things you think would enable her make more meaningful contributions; you could send her PDF of books you think would make for a good read, etcetera etcetera.

But if it were me, I would devolve to her level in order to understand her and also to familiarize myself with the things she fancies.

You could do that as well so you wouldn't seem self-centered.
